Everything you need to launch a working HR Management Platform — prioritized by impact, sequenced by complexity. Built for HR managers, startup founders, and growing companies with 10–500 employees who want to ship fast and own everything.
Not all features are equal. This checklist separates what you must launch with from what can wait — so you ship faster without cutting corners that matter.
Launch blockers — build these first
Complete employee profiles with role, department, manager, emergency contacts, and custom fields
Task checklists for new hires: documents to sign, equipment to request, training to complete
Request, approve, and track vacation, sick, and unpaid leave with team calendar view
Scheduled review cycles with self-assessment, manager review, 360 feedback, and goal tracking
High value — ship in week 2
Store, version, and e-sign employment contracts, policies, and compliance documents
Visual org chart auto-generated from employee-manager relationships
Post-launch polish and extras
This checklist follows the 80/20 rule: the "Must Have" features deliver 80% of the user value with 20% of the total effort. Every item in the must-have column was chosen because it:
Solves the core problem HR managers, startup founders, and growing companies with 10–500 employees face every day
Creates a complete user loop from onboarding to core action to outcome
Enables you to charge for the product or validate willingness to pay
Gives you meaningful metrics to improve with in v2
Can be shipped in 2–4 weeks with LaraCopilot
"The goal is not to build a perfect product. The goal is to build the minimum product that proves your assumption and earns your first users."
For a HR Management Platform, that means shipping authentication, the core data model, one complete user workflow, and a way to collect feedback. Everything else is version 2. LaraCopilot makes this fast.
Use these ready-made prompts to build each must-have feature. Paste them directly into LaraCopilot and get production-ready code.
